A monumental graphic work.
The Dubout, l'art de tout dessiner exhibition pays tribute to one of the greatest French cartoonists of the 20th century, a native of Marseille, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of his death. Albert Dubout (1905-1976), master of the line and the satirical eye, marked over fifty years of artistic life with a prolific, inventive and exceptionally wide-ranging body of work. He is one of the few artists to have explored all forms of graphic expression with such talent: press cartoons, illustration, painting, posters, cinema, advertising and animation, both in France and abroad.
Dubout worked with over 250 newspapers and magazines, reaching a readership estimated at 5 billion. His press cartoons, often featured on the cover, circulate worldwide. At the same time, he published over 140 albums, translated and distributed internationally, some with print runs of over a million copies.
An outstanding illustrator, he brought 67 great classics of French literature to life, from Villon to Molière, Voltaire to Balzac, and Marcel Pagnol. He also designed 86 posters (notably for the cinema), cartoons, two films, animated window displays for Galeries Lafayette, advertising campaigns and theater sets. Few artists have demonstrated such diversity of expression.
As part of this exhibition theme, the Musée Regards de Provence has scheduled a series of encounters with Didier Dubout, lectures, creative workshops with guided tours adapted for the younger generation and schoolchildren, watercolor workshops, yoga classes among the works and art therapy. These events, dedicated to exchange, transmission and sharing, are rich, sensitive and convivial moments to listen to the testimonies, let oneself be carried away by the creation and inspired by the works.
April 2, 3, 4, 5 and 18, May 2 and 23, September 12 at 3pm: meeting, guided tour and signing by Didier Dubout: "Voyage dans l'univers d'Albert Dubout".
Tours available on payment of full exhibition admission.
